Site sponsor Robotkingdom has posted on their Facebook page a couple images of the exclusive coin that comes with the Asian market version of MP-12G G2 Sideswipe. The package features a large G2 Autobot symbol while the coin itself is very similar to the MP-12 Sideswipe coin. The figure is soon to be released as Robotkingdom starts shipping February 22. Check out the images for yourself.

I'm surprised how much the coins have become part of the Masterpiece collecting experience for me. I got one with MP9 but didn't get why I'd want it and just put it aside. But as more were released, at around MP12 I dug out all the others that I'd just tossed in a box and not looked at, and as more came out the coin is now part of what I expect or want to receive, just like the character card, even if the coin isn't a Takara thing. With a couple of figures, I got the coinless-Amazon exclusive then bought the coin separately so I could have the best of both worlds. I didn't realize MP10B had a coin at all since mine didn't come with one. So when I found out I was straight onto ebay to get one.That said, it's a bit disappointing G2 Sideswipe's is so similar to the regular MP12. G2 wasn't subtle so it'd be nice if the coin was more loud and G2ish. Kind of understandable but still disappointing.

Site sponsor Robotkingdom has updated their Facebook page with some packaging shot of Takara Tomy's soon to be released Transformers Masterpiece MP-12G G2 Sideswipe. They also included a few additional shots of the Transformers Generations TG-30 Waspinator and TG-31 Rhinox. Enjoy the images mirrored below.
